GL has been
- most slow on development, version 2 announced so long ago and still not in sight
[/p][/QUOTE]
The development of GL 1 and 2 are two different issues that you cannot throw into one sentence. You proabably do not know that GL2 is redevelopped from scratch and will not even replace GL1 as it is. To say that GL as a whole is slow because GL2 takes a long time is the same as stating that the development CPUs is slow because quantum computing research does not produce any commercial products. There was never a concrete release day for GL2 announced. GL1 development was always up to speed, and the release cycles not slower than any other CMS. Rather many users complain that the cycles are too short.

- boasting of tight security proved false again and again
[/p][/QUOTE]
You seem to live in a world that is far away from the reality of software security. Software security is - and cannot - be about delivering a system that is perfect and will never be compromised but much more about the frequency and severity of problems and the speed of update releases. I am quite sure that nobody can complain about that with GL. All fixes have been delivered within 24hrs or less. If you say GL is insecure because sites that have not been updated since the last 3 version releases got hijacked, you seem to contradict your own statement that updates are slow.

- "content" canNOT be "managed" - admin cannot change name of author, users cannot submit image with a story directly, users cannot edit comments to a story
[/p][/QUOTE]
You can surely NOT go to any other software package and pinpoint things that GL can and they cannot and then say that they are not worthy beeing called a CMS? You are also forgetting that plugins have extended the mentioned issues in the past already, others are not possible with other packages either.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Vim[/u][p]
- web is changing : there is no per user "blog", there is no ability where users can have their own groups or communitites, see drupal.org
[/p][/QUOTE]
I would never compare two systems that have completely different scopes in their target audience and functionality requirements and therfore calling one "bad". You are saying pick-up trucks are bad because they lack the toilet of a campervan.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Vim[/u][p]
- the community performance is poor, whatever may be the reason, see drupal forums for example
[...] BUT really its dead compared to Drupal, Joomla, or e107. GL failed in packt and numbers of soc students are miserably low.
[/p][/QUOTE]
In general I do not see why one product is bad because another has a lot more users. Thats the same as saying windows is better than linux.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Vim[/u][p]
There may be  A LOT  of users still using GL for the have to and there may be some developers/ soc students, and some new users adopting drupal 
[/p][/QUOTE]
You are saying that that there are no users switching away from drupal?

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Vim[/u][p]
In this background there was really no need of such story infront page !
[/p][/QUOTE]
Please explain the link between the prior statements and this one, I fail to see it. If what you say was relevant and true, there would have been even more reason to report about a larger base for GL usage/support. Only if you own the market already at a large base (something like windows) and do so for good reasons (not like windows) you do not have to report about the fact that others think the software is good. That is why MS is reporting if some Government or NGO is switching to Windows. That is why Linux Distros are doing the same. Neither of them has the whole market for a good reason OR the good reason and the whole market.[/p][/QUOTE]
